Storage

SciClone and Chesapeake incorporate a variety of storage devices, ranging from individual disks hosted on server nodes to large RAID arrays. Filesystems are exported from server nodes to compute nodes via the Ethernet and InfiniBand networks, primarily using the NFS file-sharing protocol. Most servers are provisioned with 10 Gb/s Ethernet interfaces to reduce the many-to-one fan-in bottleneck from the compute nodes, which generally have 1 Gb/s Ethernet interfaces.

Principal storage devices for SciClone include:
